Can wrinkles get worse after the effects of Xeomin fade away? Also, does Xeomin stretch the skin to smooth out wrinkles?

Wrinkles can "seem" worse after Xeomin (or Botox or Dysport) wears off. This is simply because you became used to seeing yourself with a more relaxed and less wrinkled forehead. It's a little bit of a visual phenomenon that occurs with both relaxers and fillers. We tend to forget what we looked like before a treatment, so when things return to a pretreated state, it can be a little disconcerting!If you get into a routine with injectables, their effects do seem to last longer and often a combination of relaxer like Xeomin and filler in adjacent areas gives extra improvements. It's pretty amazing what injectables can do for your appearance.There's no stretching going on. When you see a previously wrinkled and furrowed brow that's smooth, you might think it's stretched, but all that has happened is that the underlying muscles have been instructed to stop contracting. Xeomin is a close kissing cousin to Botox. Studies show that patients report the same levels of satisfaction and longevity - as well as a similar "kick-in" time when they noticed the effects.Xeomin is referred to as "naked" in the sense that it doesn't contain a specific protein like Botox. For long term Botox users, on occasion it can seem it stopped working. We don't have a scientific explanation other than possibly the body develops a level of immunity. In that case, we'll go from Botox to Xeomin to see if the "naked" aspect allows Xeomin to work for them.

Xeomin is a neurotoxin like botox that weakens the force of contraction to decrease the formation of wrinkles therefore while it is working it will improve the wrinkles but once it fades the effects are gone and the wrinkles are back.  It wont make it worst though

Thank you for your question about Xeomin.After the effects of Xeomin wear off, the wrinkles do not get worse directly, but the aging process continues.Wrinkles can get worse from the effects of aging.To be sure, see two or more licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these treatments.I hope this helps.

Xeomin and other toxins improve wrinkles by paralyzing the muscles underneath that act on the skin causing it to wrinkle. When Xeomin or any other toxin wear off then the wrinkles are still usually slightly better than they were or exactly how they were pre-treatment. Once the effects have completely worn off then the muscles will act on the skin as they did before and over time the wrinkles will worsen as they would had there never been a treatment at all.

Xeomin, like Botox, is a muscle relaxer.  It does not stretch the skin.If you try Xeomin and for whatever reason choose not to continue with treatments, you will be no worse off than you were previously.  The wrinkles do not migrate elsewhere.  XeominIs an excellent drug that can produce outstanding resultswhen used by an experienced professional.

Wrinkles go back to the way they were after the xeomin wears off and it does nothing to stretch skin it only works to relax the muscles that control skin movement.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi there! Once the effects of Xeomin fade, your wrinkles will return, but they will not be worse than before. Xeomin does not stretch the skin, but instead works by relaxing the muscles that form wrinkles. I hope that answers your question!

The effects of Xeomin and Botox wear off and must be repeated every 3-4 months to keep their effect. I hope that answers your question.

The neuromodulators aka neurotoxins : Botox and Xeomin and Dysport , these treatments are used to relax or paralyze muscles that lead to wrinkles.  Their action is to smooth by relaxation, not be stretching.  For this reason they are very useful in a preventative sense.With normal aging, wrinkles do get worse.  If you only do one Xeomin treatment, that lasts about 3-4 months typically, then stop you will just resume your normal aging pattern at that point.  For this reason repetitive treatments is the best way to prevent wrinkles from forming. You would never be worse off for doing any of the neuromodulator treatments. 

Hello,Neurotoxins(Botox,Xeomin,Dysport) do not stretch out the skin , they temporarily paralyze the muscle.
